Human cases of swine flu have been identified in Mexico, United States, and now Canada and Spain. It was first reported on 24th April 09 and is rapidly evolving.
The website of CDC and WHO have information on the outbreak.

I am working in a healthcare institution but I am not in the frontline. Our Ministry has alerted all our healthcare institutions to step up measures. It is similar to the SARS outbreak in 2003 which affected mainly Asia and also the US and Canada, if I recall correctly.
Is there any direct impact on you? Do you fear that the outbreak will turn into a global outbreak since infrastructure is so advanced today? Are you going to change any daily hygiene habits and lifestyle?
I am wondering if I should postpone my outpatient appointments at the hospitals but my medications are running low and I need to buy them as well.
